Check out the details for our Early Career Award! The nominations have begun, so don't miss out! @AFS_Students @AFS_SciComm @AmFisheriesSoc

A new one in MEC We are rather happy about it. Congrats @YannDorant and whole team #CNV outperform #SNP to reveal genotype–temperature association in a marine species onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… @Popgen_Papers @molecology @TheFSBI @AFSGenetics @eseb_org @sse_evolution

Hot of the presses, we use genetics to investigate strain-specific performance of #Muskellunge in #Wisconsin lakes and find that Wisconsin strains outperform the Leech Lake (Minnesota) strain. Wisconsin strain likely better adapted to local environments. rb.gy/pdyez3

Check out this super interesting paper from Garrett McKinney on the genetic basis of age-at-maturity in Chinook salmon! Specific y-chromosome haplotypes linked to large differences in size and age-at-maturity onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Another synergistic team effort from our lab Great lead @AL_Ferchaud Adaptive/Maladaptive genetic diversity in small populations; insights from Brook Charr doi.org/10.1111/mec.15… @Popgen_Papers @molecology @TheFSBI @AFSGenetics #RADseq #SNP #Deleterious #Maladaptation #TE #Fish

Could not hope for a cooler 60th anniversary present: Special Issue with 25 papers put together by 35 alumni & lab members and best colleague @MarenWellenreut THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ! @GenomeQuebec @eseb_org @TheFSBI @molecology @AmFisheriesSoc

Check it out! More than ten years of work by many people at @molecolflinders and a great collaboration between @Yuma_More @k_gatesy @Bilbyboi @LouBernatchez has been published today in @PNASNews. #PNAS #ClimateChange #rainbowfishes pnas.org/content/early/…

The genetic architecture underlying ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is not consistent with the infinitesimal model biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_evobio

Check out our latest pub describing a GTseq panel for walleye out in MER. Nitty gritty details about panel design that will hopefully be useful for folks making their own panels. We highly recommend GTseq chemistry. Great workflow when optimized. rb.gy/rxtox1

Interested in running a conservation genomics research program? The AUL position at the USGS WI Coop (my old job) is open. So many fascinating systems and questions to work on! Network of collaborators is second to none! Msg me with questions. Please RT bit.ly/2ZYjE6n

@AmFisheriesSoc @AFS_Students

Please submit nominations by June 10th to Craig Stockwell, Committee Chair, at Craig.Stockwell@ndsu.edu, and cc’ Committee Members: Emily Lescak; elescak@alaska.edu and Scott Pavey; scottapavey@gmail.com

Nominations are open for our Early Career Award! The goal is to promote innovative and particularly applicable genetics research, increase interest in fisheries genetics careers, and enhance professional connections among fisheries geneticists.
